Paying on board
Pay when you ride, with exact change or a farecard. Drivers can’t make change or take payment for a return trip in advance.
Half fare and attendants
Show proof of age or disability for a discounted fare, or apply for a reduced farecard. One approved personal care attendant rides free. Riders 55 and up can ask about the Bus Bucks program.
